The Vancouver Visual Art Foundation invites you to get creative with our series of art classes taking place at the Art @Bentall Gallery, downtown Vancouver, taught by professional artists.

Change Your Quote, Change Your Life - Watercolour Signs

Come and paint a lovely watercolour painting of loose abstract flowers. Kathy will show you how to paint several types of flowers and then you will compose your own lovely design. Once dry, your framed art remains safely behind glass. You will then write your own quote on the glass in pretty cursive lettering and change that quote whenever the mood suits you!

TIME: 6 PM to 8 PM

MATERIALS: All materials will be provided

LOCATION: 595 Burrard Street, Suite 305, in the underground mall

About the Instructor:

Kathy van Gogh has been a professional visual artist since 2001, although as most artists would tell you, she has been obsessed with colour and creativity all her life. Her formal training began in the USA and in Canada. To further hone her skills, she travelled to Italy and France to learn from the authentic Masters of ancient art forms including ornamentation, marbles, wood grains, gilding, plaster work, paint making and just about every other branch of what is generally referred to as decorative art.

Initially, she opened her design company called FAKE IT, so-called because her work includes making walls look 2000 years old or transforming drywall into beautiful jaw-dropping finishes. Kathy has completed hundreds of projects in some of Vancouver’s most prestigious homes. Her work has been featured in many publications including: Home Makeover Magazine, Designer Baths, The Sun, The North Shore News, The Province, The Richmond News and many others.

In 2007, Kathy opened the only teaching studio for this art form in all of Western Canada, Studio van Gogh.
